This is a great way to relieve some symptoms associated with an earache or ear infection discomfort.
Ingredients:
Onion, chopped
Pot and stove
Cheesecloth or anycloth or paper towel

Directions:
Simply chop up onions, put in pot with a tiny bit of water, heat them for 2 minutes or until slightly blanced. Take off from heat, let cool. Drain off liquid. Place in cloth. An place on top of affected ear or behind the ear, resting on the head.  The warmth and sulfur compounds from the onion help to relieve congestion, induce circulation to drain excess fluid from the ear and also ease pain.
A very old traditional herbal remedy, that is non toxic and ingredients that most people have at home.

Ingredients:
1/2 avocado - ripe
2 cups of pineapple (frozen or thawed...I like mine thawed)
1 tbsp of green tea matcha powder (optional)
1 scoop of protein powder
2 basil leaves (optional)
handful of spinach or kale (optional)
Water or coconut water to desired consistency

Put all ingredients in a blender (I love using my Vitamix) and serve. The avocado makes this smoothie very creamy without adding dairy or yogurt. This recipe is packed of healthy fats, protein and lots of antioxidants.
